I think it would be a a great idea to make all inner city travel (like buses, tubes, etc) free after midnight. There are so many people traveling around late at night who would be much safer on some sort of public transport, but a lot of people can't afford how expensive it can be so choose to walk.
There is a lot of crime in the city at night - muggings, fights, even rapes, and this could be a real way to help combat it, giving people a free way to travel more safely.
Even if it's not free, it could be cut price. The tube doesn't even run past 1am most nights, I think they should run until around 3am for all the clubbers and party-goers who are even more vulnerable and at risk if they've been drinking.
If Wonga.com sponsored free travel on New Years Eve, couldn't other companies or even the government or Transport for London support free or cheap travel every night?
I think it could really help cut crime and help so many people living in an already-costly London.
